Midway Art & Music Festival – Labor Day Lake Tahoe at the Heavenly Village, Friday, August 29 – Sunday, August 31, 2025.
The highly anticipated Midway Arts & Music Festival is returning to Heavenly Village this Labor Day Weekend, August 29–31, 2025, and promises to be the biggest and most exciting celebration yet. Now in its third year, the festival has grown into a signature summer send-off for locals and visitors alike. This year’s headliner is none other than Alien Ant Farm, the internationally renowned alt-rock band whose high-energy performances and platinum-selling success have earned them a loyal global fanbase.
Best known for their chart-topping cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” Alien Ant Farm skyrocketed to fame in the early 2000s, with the single reaching the Top 10 in over 20 countries and earning RIAA Platinum status. The band went on to release several hit tracks including “Movies” and “These Days,” and has sold more than five million albums worldwide. Their music videos dominated MTV’s TRL era and their live shows continue to captivate audiences with a mix of nostalgia, technical precision, and raw energy.
Festival goers can catch Alien Ant Farm on the Main Stage Sunday evening, followed by a spectacular fireworks finale to close out the weekend. (Fireworks display is weather-dependent and subject to change based on local fire safety regulations, including humidity levels and overall environmental conditions. Public and environmental safety remains the top priority).
In addition to powerhouse live music performances from more than 20 live acts across four outdoor stages, the Midway Arts & Music Festival will feature an eclectic lineup of family-friendly activities and creative showcases. Classic car enthusiasts will enjoy the return of the beloved “Car Show & Shine,” and children of all ages can delight in carnival rides, games, face painting, balloon twisters, and interactive workshops. The event is designed to be fully immersive, offering something for everyone—from music lovers and art collectors to families and foodies from the village top restaurants.
“This isn’t just a concert—it’s a festival experience that celebrates creativity, community, and culture,” said Gary Casteel Jr., President of the Shops at Heavenly Village. “As Tahoe continues to face many challenges, bringing a nationally recognized band like Alien Ant Farm to headline a FREE, high-energy event in the heart of South Lake Tahoe is a major win. The Midway Art and Music Festival is quickly becoming a signature tradition—one that unites locals and visitors alike while highlighting everything that makes our region unique”.
The Midway Arts & Music Festival is free to attend and open to all ages, made possible by the support of The Shops at Heavenly Village, Tahoe Improvement District and Visit Lake Tahoe. With live music echoing through the mountains, village art galleries showcasing one of a kind displays, and family fun, Labor Day Weekend at Heavenly Village promises to be an unforgettable experience.
